11 General Software Concept and Functions
11.1 Functional Overview
The „Type 8620 mxCONTROL“ is a configurable multifunction controller. Its principal of function can
be divided into three main process areas:
Input process, control process and output process (see Figure 10).
Figure 10: Process diagram
Input Process :
• Reading of the enabled inputs and the processing of scaled process values from raw values.
• alarm functionality for each of the inputs - except binary and pulse counter inputs
Control Process:
• Simultaneous activity of up to 8 Control Functions (further on named Function)
• Available modules in the device (see chapter 14 „Controller Modules“) can be used also
several times as function with its own configuration and parameter data – considering the
required resources. The very data-intensive module „BIOCIDE_DOSING" can be used only 1
times, for example
• Each
function can be configured to work as one of the available modules (see chapter 14) – if
the structure of the function allows
• Each
function can contain modules with few module inputs and outputs. But only spezial
functions can work as modules with many in- and outputs
• The in- and outputs of the functions will be linked by means of the PC Tool
